Is anyone running netnews under Interactive? Do any mods need to be made to the code in order for it to compile? I am considering switching from SCO 2.3.1 to Interactive Unix and would like to continue running XBBS - the binaries should run just fine since Interactive claims they support Xenix, but do they? -- Larry Snyder uucp: iuxax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern STAR XBBS/Usenet Site 219-287-9020 (VHST) - 219-289-3745 (PEP+) Backbone Echomail Distribution Site Fidonet 227/1 219-289-0286 (VHST 2 lines) We carry all backbone Echomail & Usenet newsgroups!

I got the source for bnews-2.11 from UUNET. Other than the standard localize.sh changes for USG/SysV, the only thing that wouldn,t compile was virtterm.c. Add the following includes: #include <sys/stream.h> #include <sys/ptem.h> The 'winsize' structure is defined in ptem.h, which is dependent on stream.h. Apparently this is a change from earlier versions. -- -- TCA David Raines 5 National Dr. UUCP: ...!uunet!hrtix!davr Windsor Locks, CT 06096

Cc: Only rn from SCO works fine with ix/386 if you are using newest Xenix/AT or Xenix/386 but you need to build news from scratch. C News works great with some minor bugs that I need to tune up little more. My nn program (news reader) works great. I think C News is easier for me to install than B news, even I have tried to install both. Before you run build program in C News, have your manual, paper and pen ready and this will ask you alot of question on command, library functions and other environment. Be sure to add rnews in /usr/lib/uucp/Permission and it is found in system adm manual for ix/386. Right now my ix/386 is polling for email and news every hour but incomming call is not working yet. I am using Telebit right now. My fidonet address 1:343/15 and this is VHST modem. You can send email to my house uunet!nwnexus!seaeast!willyp If you are successful with B News, let me know. willy p.s. my company has fast email/news service but it is hard to reply each news because decwrl is so dumb mailer and I need full pathname address to reply. I am using rn at work.
